Old man winter's just a memory
And spring has already sprung
Let's open up all the fire hydrants
They way we did when we were young
Let's rub on some sunblock
SPF eighty-five
Let's kick it old-school
And just be happy to be alive
Here comes the sun, here comes the fun
It's summerville
Here comes the heat, dancing in the street
It's summerville
C'mon let's have some adventures
Take the Blue Line up to Dreamland
Stick our toes in the dirty ocean
Get our bodies all nice and tanned
Have ourselves an ice cream sundae
Collect a mess of broken shells
Get tangled up in the slimy seaweed
Breathe in all the strange sea smells
Let's hang out in hotels
And sneak into their swimming pools
If they ever catch us
We'll say we don't play by their stinkin' rules
We'll go down to the Esplanade
On the Fourth of July
Stay up late for the fireworks
Plastered all over the summerville sky
